0.9.10e Patch Notes

"

We've added support for "Borderless Fullscreen Windowed Mode" in the graphics options.
The options screen has been rearranged to make it more intuitive.

Excellent on both! Keep up the good work!

Nice


Can we create guilds when Open Beta starts?

I've never used CI...is this a big 'nerf'?

That was fast. I had so many tabs open and just read the 0.9.11 thread, so for a second when reading this, I thought this was about the deployment of 0.9.11, and got very excited ;)

No, it's the Unique sword Charan made.

Its a big nerf if your build doesnt revolve around CI, but most of the time if you are going for the big keystones, you have to have a build that caters well for that keystone..

Basically I wouldnt take it in HC anymore, especially because you cant get ES cooldown reduction on items anymore. Though it might still work, my builds arent all that great, If I practiced more I'm sure it would work just as well. (CI is the only % more ES passive I know of)

Hm...while I do believe CI was the best defensive option out there, I don't think nerfing it is the best solution. Perhaps bringing other defensive options (Evasion especially) up to par would be a better idea, seeing how hard end-game monsters hit. Alternatively, dropping the damage of end-game monsters could work with this current nerf.

Currently, even if you build an entirely defensive character, it's still difficult to maintain more than a few seconds of aggro and live through it at higher difficulties. To me, this seems to promote building more on the offensive side with just enough defense that you don't get one-shotted for making a slight mistake. Tankier characters are not only difficult to solo with, but also are less rewarding right now (in terms of time invested to reach higher difficulties and in terms of ability to farm loot).

Just my two cents, anyway.
